Vacant-House Fakery Reborn as Cleveland to Camden Combat Blight
Artist Chris Toepfer walks to the front entrance of an abandoned factory he is working on, in Camden, New Jersey,U.S., on Monday, June 23, 2014. Toepfer, founder of the Neighborhood Foundation, and a team of Camden residents are beautifying the exterior of the factory with a railroad mural in Camden. Urban fakery is spreading in U.S. cities where the recession's wave of foreclosures added to decades-long decay. If the technique that Toepfer calls aesthetic board-up is a stopgap, itís a cheap one, costing just $500 to $1,000 per property, a fraction of demolition costs.
